And then there was the dress change.

She started this Rosario Beach maternity session in the prettiest pink dress and later changed into one of my favorite dresses from my Client Closet, the denim Reclamation dress.

And I love seeing how much a different outfit can change the feel of your images.

One look can feel soft and romantic.

Another can feel a little more bold and editorial.

And sometimes you just want to wear something that makes you feel really, really good.

That’s one of the reasons I love having a Client Closet available for my maternity clients. You don’t have to spend hours trying to figure out what to wear or buy something you’ll probably only wear once.

You can choose something from the closet, wear something you already love, or do a little of both.

There’s no "right" maternity outfit.

I just want you to feel beautiful, comfortable, and like yourself.

And yes, you can absolutely borrow one of my dresses for your maternity session. 🤍

Give me a beautiful beach, a little wind, and a couple who are completely comfortable loving on each other... and I’m happy.

One of my favorite things about maternity sessions is that they don’t have to feel like a photoshoot.

You don’t need to know what to do with your hands.

You don’t need to know how to pose.

And you definitely don’t need to spend the whole session looking at the camera.

I’ll guide you through the session, but a lot of my favorite images happen in between the "posed" ones.

A hand on the belly.

A forehead against his.

Walking together.

Laughing when the wind does its thing.

Those little moments are the ones that make your gallery feel like *you*.

This Rosario Beach maternity session was such a beautiful example of that.

If you’re not naturally comfortable in front of the camera, don’t worry. You really don’t have to be. That’s what I’m there for.

Sometimes the simplest sessions are the ones that feel the most meaningful.

For this maternity session, mama wanted a clean, simple look with the focus on her growing belly and the connection between her and the people she loves most.

Her, her daughter, and her husband. No need for anything complicated. Just the three of them, this little baby they're waiting for, and all the love already surrounding this growing family.

We photographed this one in my new home studio, and I loved how perfectly the space allowed the focus to stay right where it belonged. 🤍

A little goodbye to summer. 🌸

The rain may have officially arrived, but I’m still hanging onto evenings like this one.

A mama, her baby, some dahlias, and the kind of sunset that makes you want to slow down and stay just a little longer.

These are the moments I love most about motherhood sessions. Nothing complicated. Just the two of them together, soaking up a little bit of magic at the end of a summer day.

So here’s to the last golden evenings, the last flowers of the season, and all the little moments we somehow wish we could bottle up and keep forever.

Goodbye, summer. You were beautiful. 🤍

There’s just something about maternity photos by the water.

The waves, the wind, the soft evening light, and that feeling of slowing down for a minute before life changes in a really big way.

For this maternity session, we headed to Rosario Beach near Anacortes, and it was such a beautiful setting for the two of them to just be together and enjoy this little in-between season.

I love when maternity sessions include your partner in a way that feels natural. Not just a few photos together at the end, but actually making space for the two of you to connect and be part of the story.

A little walking, a little laughing, a lot of snuggling, and plenty of time to just take it all in.

Rosario Beach is such a beautiful option for maternity photos if you love that soft, natural PNW feel.

And this pink dress? She absolutely nailed it. 🤍

A little peek at some of the families I got to photograph at Tracie’s Client Appreciation Event this weekend 🤍

We packed a LOT of fun into five minutes with each family, and I loved getting to see all the different personalities come through. The giggles, the cuddles, the chaos, the sweet little moments in between... it was such a fun day.

I’ll be sharing the rest of the families over the next couple of posts, so if you were there, keep an eye out for your family!

And a big thank you to for having me there. I loved being part of such a fun day!

Motherhood is found in the little moments. The laughter, the cuddles, the way your children reach for your hand, and the joy of simply being together.

These are the moments that tell your story.

If you’ve been thinking about updating your family photos, or know a mama who would treasure memories like these, tag her below. With Mother’s Day just around the corner, there’s no better time to celebrate this beautiful season of motherhood. 🤍
